i was thinking today about our generation & the oppressive need to make our voice heard. have we always been this demanding? abrasive? expectant? obsessive? if you look at the ratio of the number of bloggers out there v. bloggers who actually have something to say, there's quite a difference in numbers.
i may peruse someone's blog, all the while wondering if i'm seeing into a portion of them, their thought process or their soul. i'd like to say that my intuition in person is equivocal (or close enough thereto) online. i'd submit someone's words, thoughts, opinions & mannerisms even are quite apparent even in words on a screen. lesser, of course, than in person, but still there.
so, i often wonder how much of my true self even shines through on a blog. when i write an entry, is it dripping with my current feeling of sarcasm or bitterness or glee or ponderance? do you, the reader, actually get a picture of me or is it nothing more than a small part? rhetorical questions, yes, but important questions.
i had a day today. yes ... a day. one of those days that could end all days. a rainy monday complete with traumas galore to put out at work, along with trial preparations for a trial in backwoods deliverance-country north carolina. i wonder if the counties specifically attempt to hire the most incompetent & unfriendly people ever. because if so? i nominate betsy lou for first prize! what exactly does one get for being the most incompetent & unfriendly person? expired coupons? gift certificates for the local tackle & bait shop (complete with in-store eatery!)?
i'd better paste a smile on my face because elsewise this entry, too, shall drip with bitterness & cynicism. oh wait, it already does!
heh.
buckle up for safety, kids. it'll be a bumpy week. but nothing a little mind-clearance, prayer & positive thinking won't overcome. & when i come back, it'll be with a vengeance. & with amaretto cookies.
mmmmmmm, amaretto.
